Building Trailer Ski's for Heavy D 

I love the fact that everyone else is dressed up like polar bears, but Diesel Dave is still rocking the cut off jeans.

If you look at the trailers that they used to use up in and around the Arctic circle, the ski's ran the full length of the trailers to spread the load as much as possible. I'd suggest that you triple the length of those ski's (at least triple, maybe a bit more) before trying to take that trailer up another mountain. You could also make them wider so they extend further underneath the trailer. Hopefully by doing that the trailer won't sink next time

wow saying i didn't like or subscribe... I have been watching since the very first discovery episode. down right insulting bro wanna duel ? hahaha kind of joking. Glad to see yall still having fun all these years later.

I am a big fan of the Skeeter. My late Grandpa was named Skeeter and watching him reminded me of crazy ass Grandpa Skeeter. Thank you for your time.

I like what did for today's subscribers 👊

NOTHING LIKE SKI FOR THE TRAILERS AND THE CAT TO PULL IT WHAT A BRIGHT NEWS THAT NO ONE HAS COMEUP WITH FOR YRS.

I like the reverse upload order of videos.. doing the recovery video 1st then going back in time to the build video

The boy's really be having fun at work.. that's amazing and ofcourse entertaining

My friend has one of those saws. I've seen it, first hand. THEY WORK AWESOME. He whacked his knuckle on it, an BOOM, blade stopped and dropped. He just got a small skin break, it bled a very tiny bit. There. Know you know. Great job on the skis guys!! Thanks, take care, stay safe. See you all in the next vid. Laters.

Every time i talk about building skis for my single-tandem gooseneck and everyone looks at me like I'm speaking Swahili and having a stroke! 😂😅😂😅

Cole is Ralph, "I'm helping"

Rob was always my favorite BMXER when he rode bikes :)

When worked mines we dragged stuff around years steel plates , remember one deal sold load flat plate steel customer , so drag 100 yd dragline bucket around . Crazy

Almost every tool on the planet and no flexi-camera?..😂❤

Talented guys who can do just about anything they need to do. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Kool piece of the digger body...bet that cost a pretty penny.

YOU GUYS SURE GET TO DO A LOT OF COOL STUFF .

Guys, when cutting angle iron, put the angle on the saw like a pyramid, you cut quicker and theres less drag. If you cut it the way you have, there are too many teeth on the bottom cut 👍

I love the way he used the right hand glove on the left hand as not have a left glove. So did he discover the right hand glove, turned in to a left hand glove, when it turns inside out, while trying to pull it off.

Team Work for the win🎉

You guys should get Mr. Beast up there sometime and put him in The Beast. :)

Sparks, Steaks and Skis, Oh my! ⚡🥩🏂

I’ve definitely done the 2 left hand gloves trick many times 😂😂

Yeah! Ski's will also work over trees and rocks! Yeah 👍

You guys are such…..guys!! And Allen with those dimples…..love watching you all create and put it together!! 🥰

I was one the people that though this would be a good idea for the snow and it looks like we'll executed we will see how good it works

Heavy D y'all build some 😎 Stuff

Truly, Truly Unbelievable!!

For more flotation the ski need to be from driver side to passenger side tires. 1 big square. That way it doesn't sink in the snow. My 2 scents.

Them baby squares are the best, when I built houses it was awesome in tight spots, now u build furniture and I still use it every day. BABY SQUARE LIFE!!!😂😂

Let me tell you something your guys build the best skis Hi ever seen heavy D and you are best friends and brothers for life I saw the video that you guys did about the accident let me tell you something I’ve touched my heart because that sure that you guys are really brothers I like how you help out people all the time you guys have good hearts don’t change for no one keep up the videos

Saw stop, they use a hot dog to demonstrate. It sends a rod into the blade

For going downhill, to prevent it kicking out sideways, you should make a rudder, or hell throw an old gas engine out behind it on a chain for like an anchor to keep er from sliding when you don't want it to lol

Nice work by the fab shop on the ski's

love yo gloves cole😅

You guys are Awesome 😎

Yay! Love these vids! Aloha all🌺

Coming from a former Tool Repair Guy, the problem with the StopSaw is EVERYONE wants to test it and the safety stop unit is 1-time use, so you need to replace it at $300 or so every time it's triggered.

Amazing making Steve's for a trailer❤❤❤❤❤

love you videos wish i could help the world like you and your crew do awesome guys

The guys always do great the things they make and do is just wow

Ghost is the movie you learned pottery from that's hot!

Fun watching the team working together and having fun! Another great video!

That was a great idea

Tip - do the hard bolts first... learned the hard way from blind fitting engine components in tiny European car engine bays....

Keep up the great work. You guys. Awesome 👍 indeed.

And you made it freeking work! Your amazing!

Awesome job Guys😂

Great job except you either need to do used extruded metal that had ribs on it or the same principle that snowmobile skis have directional rods to keep your trailer from sideslipping when you aren’t going on level ground!

ONELOVE AND PEACE FROM LLANELLI WALES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING A OLD MECHANIC SMILE😂 AND YES WHEELING IN MOAB IS ON MY BUCKET LIST.... KEEP ON MAKING OUTSTANDING CONTENT. LONG MAY YOU ALL LIVE.❤

Angle iron always cuts faster with the corner facing straight up not down so you're cutting across a flat big section of metal

Question!!! What if instead of 2 skis, 1 on each side, you built 1 full width 10' long sled? Less ground pressure per square inch, giving a larger floating surface. Plus if you added long skaggs to maintain straight pulling and preventing sideways drift??? Just an idea. Good luck

Amazing video but I think they should have been made wider to get more weight distribution onto the snow

Cant help but smile whenever these folks drop a video and yall stay blessed and humble and keep spreading love👊🙏😎

Hey good evening Sparks motors i enjoy the show u host I love video so much and good one in great job and bless day

No such thing as over engineered. Great stuff.

Can I come work with you guys lol that food looks good . But I so know some times all you guys get is store food and or pizza .

Saw stop table saws are definitely a cool piece I once had a piece kick and got my finger jammed into the blade and it stopped instantly. My friend has a dealership for sawstop so we decided to get one. The nice thing is they can be deactivated for conducting material's.

You do know that the power band saw woks best if you start on the top on the angle, and then let it do it's job right?

Thanks for making the skiis Looks like it works except for really deep snow. Maybe a center belly panels to compact snow in the center especially before the axles.

Yes🎉🎉🎉🎉

I love the clean and neat shop

You need to put a Skag on the ski's so they run straight when on a Hill. Like on snowmobile ski

Really dint think these got a fair shake, but it is what it is

Awesome

Lock washer before flat washer ? Iam questioning everything now 😂😂

Very cool. You guys always do a great job most of the time. Love the skis.

Wicked that works better than I expected, well done guy's. 💚✌️

Great Idea,Steve from Nb Canada

How did Skeeter end up at sparks motors from Matts offroad recovery? Just curious. Great video guys!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Looking like a bunch of awesome guys having fun 👍🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome team work on this guys!!

Or you have really solid sleds for sleigh riding.

The funny part is they didn't even end up bringing this trailer to the top of the mountain lol. They just dragged all that shit down behind a snowcat 😂

Awesome job.

Love the videos guys keep it up

I love this channel

Dont test those Saws that auto retract. Your still going to an emergency room if you do. The difference is that with one, your getting stiches, and without it, your discussing if its possible to reattach whatever touched the saw.

Ooooh just in time!

Good job guys

amazing!

luv u guys

Aswome job

outstanding

Ótima idéia os skis parabéns

Keep up the good work ❤️

For v2 in your skis look at Stage-line Mobile Stages ski hill sled package similar concept to your but a tad more refined after 30 years of putting portable stages up the top of ski hills

Hey what if we take old rubber snowmobile tracks and put those on the trailer duallys? Have to modify them together but I would think irlt would float in snow I could be wrong lol.

In this episode this stuff was built by SKITER, the alter-ego of Skeeter... 😜😁😇🤟

Show up for the fabrication, Leave traumatized by 90's movie flashcacks, but with a whole new disturbing twist.

I like the skis for the trailer... But do you have skaggs on the skis to keep it from sliding sideways That's why snowmobile skis have skaggs

Need to make the ski part as wide as the entire axle so the axle cant high center

Would those trailer ski's follow the trailer better if they had a couple of rails/ blade's underneath and the back of them a flat drop down surface to drive into and out of them ?

Too short, need to be at least twice as long, maybe wider too.

15:50 Lmao 🤣

Seems to me that the skis would need to distribute the weight from front to rear much like the tracks do on a snow machine. If the weight is focused on just the wheels i think it will not work, but if you had full length runners attached to the trailer at multiple points it would be a pretty good idea….well that takes car of my .02 cents worth……

Wow I was very surprised how unskilled unknowledgeable you guys are about a saw

1 more time if u can't get the bolt in the hole put some hare on it!!

Flip the angle and cut from the tip.
